Hello!
 
Removing or keeping McAfee is a matter of choice.  WSA is designed to run just fine even with other AV solutions install.. it is unique that way.
 
I will go into my own opinion.  Remove the McAfee.  McAfee is not as well rated, tends to miss more threats, and it is a huge resource hog on the computer.. it can slow you down.
 
Should you decide to remove McAfee then whilst it should uninstalll using the usual Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Program applet, in some cases it does prove more stubborn and in that case you will need to use the McAfee Removal Tool which you can find in this:

Hello,
 
Should you decide to remove MacAfee, I would agree with removing it, for the reasons mentioned above, and because my son who works in the computer field agrees with this persons opinions.
